These guys are based in Alberta. The finest in "saving old tin"... some of the stuff they get running is pretty cool. 20 episodes or so... I have a couple of favourites including their resurrection of an elderly 59 Chevy Biscayne. Their dog Stella seems to have a say in their build.

Nonscripted cool.

This'll get you started.

Possibly even cooler is this '53 Packard with a one of the finest straight eights ever.

I enjoy the overall chill attitude. The sense of humour is right there.[ddd They put minimal hours in just to get the cars moving around, no beserk power goals. Ergo, things are done on the cheap. And some of the cars are spectacular. Saskatchewan and Alberta communities that are off the beaten trail, seem to provide a deep catchment of 50's and 60's vehicles.

Would love to see them getting that straight 8 packard running!!!

+++++++++++++++

This one is good, the boys dig out a '53 Ford with a 239 flattie. They use a vintage distributor machine to set up a cobbled distributor, and free up a stuck valve in the flattie.

Good clean fun.
